Summary
Marry in haste....
Murder at leisure?
London, 1888: Susannah rushes into marriage to a young and wealthy surgeon. After a passionate honeymoon, she returns home with her new husband wrapped around her little finger. But then everything changes.
Thomas' behaviour becomes increasingly volatile and violent. He stays out all night, returning home bloodied and full of secrets. The gentle caresses she enjoyed on her wedding night are now just a honeyed memory.
When the first woman is murdered in Whitechapel, Susannah's interest is piqued. But as she follows the reports of the ongoing hunt for the killer, her mind takes her down the darkest path imaginable. Every time Thomas stays out late, another victim is found dead.
Is it coincidence? Or is her husband the man they call Jack the Ripper?

A very well known story from a female perspective
The narration was fantastic, so many twists and turns and I couldn't put it down!

Finished this so quickly because it was such an interesting listen, there’s hardly any moments I can think of where it lulled, something was always happening. Would recommend!

captivating and draws you in immediately
absolutely got sucked into this story immediately. following the story of the whitechaple murders, it brings an altogether different possible ending...reality vs fiction, who knows when a mystery is unsolved

I flew through this book in one day, it had me hooked from start to finish!! Such an original take on the story of one of London’s most notorious killers. My favourite read of the year so far, for sure!

Original Idea
I enjoyed the originality of the story and the narration was excellent. I was able to put myself in 1888. Quite a dark tale, not one to seek out if you're looking for a mood booster. 😆
Not on the same level as Laura Purcell but heading in that direction.

Enthralling listen
This story was amazing!
The plot kept me guessing and intrigued the whole way through. It was paced really well and I really liked Suzanna and vehemently hated Thomas.
The ending was SO good and the performance by Tuppence Middleton was exceptional. One of my fave books of the year so far!
